1. Plug the power supply into a power outlet and into the Mercury Elite Pro.
2. Connect the FireWire 800, USB 3.0, or eSATA cable – appropriate for the interface that
your computer supports – into the drive and computer.
NOTE:
• Only one interface (FireWire 800, USB 3.0, or eSATA) at a time can be used.
• For the safe removal of your drive and to ensure that no data is lost, always unmount
the drive from your operating system before powering off the Mercury Elite Pro.
• In order for the computer to access volumes larger than 2TB, the operating system
needs to support large volumes (e.g., Windows Vista or OS X 10.4 and above).

The Mercury Elite Pro has a blue LED at the front of the enclosure.
The LED emits a solid blue light when the unit is powered on, and
